I've just booked my practise for 27th november. It's at 08:20 in telford.
Is doing it that early going to be make it easier/harder. It does mean I have to go through college traffic, but I aint filtering on my test.
I have "accidently" mastered the controlled stop (emergency) through practise from racing down contry lanes.

Only problem I have is the U-turn. I try to follow the advice, look far ahead, knees in but it never seems to work. I can do it but only if I totally open the throttle half way round, which I would fail due to lack of control.

Any advice other than practise much welcome as I'll be doing plenty.
